Olfactory-auditory sensory integration in the olfactory tubercle. Bar graphs of average stimulus evoked responses across 17 units in response to tone (left), odor (middle, see methods for odor) and simultaneous tone and odor presentations (right column).hus, both accessory and main olfactory systems converge in the olfactory tubercleâpresenting this structure as a âmixedâ olfactory cortex (Martinez-Marcos, 2009). These anatomical points highlight the likely role of the tubercle in the processing of odors.
Precancerous condition. A precancerous condition or premalignant condition, sometimes called a potentially precancerous condition or potentially premalignant condition, is a state of disordered morphology of cells that is associated with an increased risk of cancer. If left untreated, these conditions may lead to cancer.
Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common side effects of colorectal cancer and its treatment. It is not predictable by tumor type, treatment, or stage of illness. Usually, it comes on suddenly, does not result from activity or exertion, and is not relieved by rest or sleep. It is often described as paralyzing and may continue even after treatment is complete. In addition to fatigue, weight loss and decreased appetite are common in people being treated for colorectal cancer.
